Babbitt, a clerk in the Treasury Department, second controller's and first auditor's offices, died at 6 o'clock Sunday morning at bis residence, 322 2d street southeast, of disease of the kidneys.

Y., in 1832, moved to Michigan in early life and enlisted in August, 1862, In company C, twenty-fourth Michigan infantry, of the “Iron brigade,” from Plymouth, ‘Wayne county, Mich.’ He lost a leg in the first day's fight at Gettysburg, in which en- gagement eight color bearers were killed from his company. Mr. Babbitt was a man of sterling gharacter, genial dispost- tion, possessed of an exceptional memory and of wide information. His recollection of important episodes and debates during the war and reconstruction periods was remarkable. The Michigan State Associa- tion, of which he was a respected member, wil! meet this evening at 7:30 o'clock at the rooms of Mr. Hasbond of the Free Press bureau, No. 1415 G street northwest, to take action toward honoring his mem- ory.

Mr. William Gibson of the firm of Gib- son Bros. lost Saturday an envelope con- taining $600 in greenbacks. Mr. Gibson drew this money, together with a quantity of silver, from Riggs’ bank. The silver, which was in a bag, he placed in the out- side pecket of bis overcoat, and the paper money he placed in a large envelope.

Upon leaving the bank he went on a 14th street cable car to his home, and after getting his dirner returned to his place cf business. He then missed the envelope. Whether h pocket was picked or he dropped the en- velope {s one of the mysteries which the Gibson Bros. and the police are trying to clear up. ——— Under the Utah Act.

THE GAMBLERS DENOUNCED Session of Christian Ezdeavor Unio of Alexandria. Condition of Affairs in Alexandria County the Subject of Speeches and Resolutions. The second annual session of the Local Union, composed of the Christian Endeavor societies of northern Virginia, was held in the new M. E. Church at Arlington Satur- day, with an attendance of one hundred and fifty delegates and visitors. President F. W. Bessley of Vienna presided, with Miss Maud Rathbun of Falls Church secre- tary. The societies of Fairfax, Alexandria and Loudoun counties were represented. The Linconla Society, recently organized, applied for admission into the union, and the delegates were cordially received and admitted to seats in the convention. The verbal reports from the s es Tep- resented were an interesting feature at the morning session. The question of the organ- ization of junior societies was considered, and Rev. J.W.Norris was appointed to have charge of this work. The interests of Chris- tian Endeavor werk in the city of Alexan- dria was referred to the Arlington and Bal- ston societies, to report at next session. The committee on nominations of olticers for the ensuing year reported the following, viz: President, H. Ray Blanchard of Hern- don; vice president, H. O. Cornwell of Spring Vale; secretary, Miss Grace Dou- glass cf Balston; treasurer, Miss Anna Munson of Arlington. These nominations were confirmed by the convention. One of the speakers having referred in nis address to the deplorable condition of public affairs in the county of Alexanidria—sale of liquor, gambling, &c.,—an animated discussion tock place over the subject, und a committee, consisting of Rey. J. W. Norris, H. F. Love, B. A. Shreve, H. Ray Blanchard and Mrs. 8S. E. Batley, was appointed to draft an ex- pression of the sertiments of the conyen- tion in regard to the matter. An invitation from the Ealston society for the convention to hold its semi-annual session in Novem- ber at that place was accepted, and the first Saturday In November was fixed as the date of the meeting. The committee appointed to draft an ex- pression of the views of the conventton upon the condition of affairs inAlexandria county reported the following, viz: “We, as repre- sentatives of the Y. P. S. C. BE. here as- sembled, representing different Protestant denominations and societies of the Chris- tian Endcavor societies in the counties, composing the Local Union of Northern Virginia, knowing the deplorable condition of affairs in this county, and feeling that we, as a society, desire to take action thereon, do adopt the following, viz: As Christian Endeavorers, we believe that this world belongs to our Savior, Jesus Christ. We believe that His Gospel has to do with everything that affects human weal; that His law is the standard of pub- lic no less than private virtues; that no social institution, no civil law or practice, no commercial custom that does not har- monize with the principles of His word has any right to exist; and we hail the awak- ening of public sentiment that demands in official stations, in legislative halls, in com- mercial chambers and in judicial courts a wholesome respect for the moralities of the Gospel. We cannot acquit ourselves before our own consciences or before the bar of Gcd_ if we do not use the prerogatives of our citizenship to make this sentiment ef- fective in advancing public honesty, official integrity, and in the overthrow of every iniquity which casts its blighting shadow upon our homes, our counties, our state and our nation. As an organization we are not the-tool or the slave of any political party, but we seek affiliation and pledge co-opera~ tion with every man or body of men who love righteousness and hate iniquity, and, as voters, and as the wives and sisters of voters, we consecrate our suffrages, or our power to influence suffrages, to every cause that promotes civic righteousness, seclal purity, industrial equity and the ad- justment of human relations upon the basis of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of mankind.” The convention uranimously indorsed the report. Rev. J. Mason of Herndon then ¢elivered an ad- dress on the subject, “Christian Endeavor; The Good of It.” Hymn “Blest Be the Tie That Binds" was sung, followed by an impressive consecration service until ad- journment. The proceedings of the conven- tion were marked throughout with good feeling and cordiality. The arrangements for the session were perfect, the church tastily decorated, the dinner, for variety and excellence, could not be surpassed, and the ladies in charge of all these details were eminently deserving of the hearty vote of thanks tendered them. —_._ CHARGES FORGERY. Some Ugly Accusations Against a Colored Pair. In a bill in equity filed today by Sarah Robinson against Louis H. Douglass and others, to set aside and cancel‘ a certain alleged forged note and deed of trust, the complainant makes some ugiy charges against Chas. B. Cheshire and Molly Smith, both colored. Stating that she is the owner of sublot 62,square 132, and that in 1888 she executed a deed of trust thereon to secure the late Frederick Douglass pay- ment of a note for $300, the complainant, an old colored woman, charges that in 1891 Cheshire either forged or caused Mol- ly Smith to forge the complainant's name to a similar note in favor of one Louis C. Justice, and a fraudulent deed of trust to secure the payment of the alleged forged note was placed on record. Mrs. Robinson also charges thet Cheshire and the Smith woman were subsequently held in the Police Co to answer the charge of forgery, but states that being unfamiliar with the methods of criminal justice here she does not knew why they were never brought to trial. She asks that the court remove the cloud on her title by setting aside and eanceling the alleged fraudulent dvcuments, and that she be al- lowed to have the property sold -or In- cumbered to settle the debt due the Doug- lass estate. - ——— Tomorrow's Alexander Island Entries First race, four and a half furlongs, sell- ing—Lilipute, 107; Louts Quartoze, 1 Cashmeres 107; William Penn, 102; Quilla, 102; Flash, 10 Syde, 1 Boonton, 104 Gemonays 099; Rufus, 9 Lady Like, ; Countess, 97; Calisa, 97; Nina, 97; Juliet, v7.

In February, 1887, the Catholic corporation began suit for G40 acres adjoining the town of Van- couver, 430 acres of which were occupted by the government as a military reservetion. The United States circuit court entered a decree in favor of the defendants and dis- missed the bill, The church asserted its claim, but the Secretary of the Interior in 1872 decided that it was entitled to a small tract—less than half an acre—upon which the church building stood. Justice Brewer for the court said that the decision of the secretary was conclusive. Referring to the merits of the eontroyersy, he said that the act creating the territory only conyeyed land actually occupied by the missionary societies in their own right. The real oc- cupanf of the land, he sald, wag the Hud- son Bay Company, and the mission station was only there on sufferance.

Late Saturday afternoon the Commis- sioners and the garbage contractors mutu- ally agreed to cancel the garbage contract July 1- It was agreed, however, that the present contractors were to have the con- tract for removing garbage under the new specifications and subject to the increased appropriation for a period of four months. At the end of that time a new contract for five years will be awarded the lowest bid- der. The contractors hesitated about ac- cepting the four months’ contract, fearing by the Imposition of fines, for complaints they would lose money. pon the assur- ance, however, that nayinjustice would be done, they a pted the proposition, and after July 1 the garbage will be collected under the new specifications and regula- tions, which will insure to; the cltizens of the District a better service.

Several plans have been ‘tHiscussed, but as yet no system has been decided upon, They have at least decided to name the east and west streets north of W, X. Y and Z, and have under consideration the following: The present Michigan, Illinois and Kan- sas avenues are, it is expected, to retain their names. The avenue, 160 feet inside wide, north of Soldiers’ Home, will be named Alabama; the avenue along Piney Branch road will be named Colorado; New Hampshire avenue north of Petworth, Co- lumbia road east of Connecticut avenue ex- tended, and California avenue to 23d street will be named California avenue or Co- lumbia avenue or Coiumbia road. The street along the District line will be named Boundary or Columbia avenue. Bright- wood avenue north of Kansas avenue will be named Brightwood road. All other avenues of the section will be named after the states in order of their admission into the Union, omitting states already used for names of avenues. The parkway along the Piney Branch and Spring road will be named Piney Branch Parkway. Eighteenth street north of Superior street and its ex- tension along the park boundary will be named Park highway. Resixnations Accepted. The Commissioners have accepted the resignations of P. Mahaney, hostler, and J. L. Martin, private in the fire department, and appointed J. P. Cochran and F. M. Luckett privates. Fred Brill, private, has been appointed hostler, vice Mahaney, re- signed.
